This house is located in the Campus Vista Historic Neighborhood, my old neighborhood. The people here have painted that chimney column a bright blue to contrast with the yellow of the house.
Just down the street is a house that has three bright orange pots with plants in them for its splash of color. Two good examples of using color the brighten up these simple, single-level, 1950's houses.

I don't think the blue chimney does fit with the house. I prefer the second one withn the orange pots!
I know the feeling. There's pots with plants in front of my house.
I like the orange, we had a huge concrete planter in back garden of the other house and painted it several times over the 20 years we owned that one.
I'm not a fan of the blue chimney either, Sharon. Like the pots.
The blue chimney looks like it is covered with blue plastic for renovation purposes. Jarring! Not an effective color for that attempted contrast. It is just paint , though, and can readily be remedied.
The orange pots are fab!
Love those orange pots. The blue chimney is not very pleasing to the eye.
Those orange plant pots are perfect, they really stand out
The orange pots work better in my view.
I like the orange pots, though I'd repaint that house -- it needs more color as well. I'm not convinced about the blue chimney.
That brown house, BTW, has a heck of an air conditioner on its roof!
The blue chimney feels jarring.
